Best Young Master

As night fell, all was silent, and the sky seemed to be inked black.

A shadow flew out from Ye Fan’s window, merging with the endless darkness like a ghost.

"Crack!"

A clap of thunder resounded in the sky, and lightning tore through the darkness. In an instant, a torrential downpour ensued, shrouding the entire Ancient City in a curtain of rain.

The sound of the rain masked all other noises; Ye Fan, like a ghost, swiftly traversed the city, quickly arriving at a place where little demons from the Demon Clan gathered.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Fan flicked his wrist, directly throwing out one hundred and eight large banners, forming an array that isolated this place from the outside world.

"Who?"

"Ah..."

"Puff!"

Soon after, Ye Fan entered the array, and before long, faint screams of agony echoed from within. If one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t notice, as the sound was completely drowned out by the rain.

Quickly, Ye Fan walked out, retrieving the one hundred and eight large banners. A smell of blood seemed to linger in the rain, but it was quickly washed away by the heavy rain, and no one noticed anything unusual here.

Shortly after, Ye Fan arrived at another Demon Clan settlement, where several young elites of the Demon Clan were gathered. Their strength ranged from Early Lord Realm to Mid-stage, known as one-star and two-star Demons by the Demon Clan.

Such a level of power, in such a small city, would undoubtedly be seen as immortal-like figures in the eyes of ordinary people.

However—

When Ye Fan cast out one hundred and eight large banners, their fate was already sealed—death!

Without any surprises, Ye Fan, like a Killing God, claimed the lives of more than a dozen young Demon Clan warriors in the name of a challenge, leaving none alive.

Trapped within the array devised by Bai Yan wolf, the Demon Clan couldn’t even cross the void if they wanted to.

This was specifically prepared for Ye Fan by Bai Yan wolf. Besides the one hundred and eight large banners that could obscure the heavenly secrets and isolate energies, Ye Fan’s virtual space held an even more formidable killing array.

Originally, Ye Fan didn’t intend to bring it, but under Bai Yan wolf’s insistence, he did. According to Bai Yan wolf, this was an extremely powerful killing array adapted from the killing array of the Eternal Slaughter Emperor. It could absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to operate independently, its transformations endless and its killing intent overwhelming. Without its guidance, no one could hope to escape from this killing array unscathed, not even Saint Lord Level strong people.

An array capable of trapping Saint Lord Level strong people was undoubtedly extraordinary, so Ye Fan could only carry it; he also feared the older generation of Demon Clan strong people might disregard agreements and attack him.

Currently, Elder Xuan was still asleep, and the Emperor Weapon Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown couldn’t be used, leaving only passive defense, which was not his style.

With this killing array, even if the older generation of Demon Clan strong people wanted to breach an agreement and attack him with extermination in mind, he now had the ability and means to fight back.

The one hundred and eight large banners obscured celestial secrets; no information could be transmitted out, let alone crossing the void.

An hour later, all Demon Clan strongholds in the Ancient City, except for the City Lord Mansion, were eradicated by Ye Fan alone.

At this moment, he walked like a Death God on earth, his body exuding a sharp killing intent and a dense death aura.

He now resembled a standard human-shaped creature; except for lacking scales, his death aura was denser than theirs.

He was aware of this; with each person he killed, the death aura around him grew thicker. Although a lot was absorbed by the black sphere in his Dantian, after slaying hundreds, the accumulated death aura was still extremely dense.

Silently, Ye Fan arrived above the City Lord Mansion; he dared not extend his Divine Sense to probe how many young elites of the Demon Clan were within, nor did he know where the older generation Demon Clan strong who presided here was located.

To avenge his fallen brothers and keep disaster and suffering away from the ordinary people of the Ancient City, Ye Fan gritted his teeth, deciding to make a grand move!

"Clatter!"

The one hundred and eight large banners stood in the void, fluttering in the wind; even in the pouring rain, they weren’t affected in the slightest, completely isolating the City Lord Mansion from the outside world.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan struck down with a palm, a faint stele appearing within his massive black hand, fiercely creating a large hole in the roof of the largest building in the City Lord Mansion.

"Who goes there?"

A stern shout rang out as figures quickly soared; hundreds of young Demon Clan elites swiftly surrounded him, their eyes all shooting vicious glances.

"What junior dare disturb the Ancestor’s meditation? End yourself now, lest you force the Ancestor to take action personally. Then, even dying will be hard for you."

A voice like a night owl’s echoed from the breached City Lord Mansion below, excessively sinister, making one feel uneasy upon hearing it.

"My name is Ye Fan; today I challenge you under your own rules—winner leaves, loser dies!" Ye Fan shouted loudly.

"Ye Fan?"

The voice’s owner was clearly taken aback; everyone knew Ye Fan had been transmitted to the Star Domain and could never return in this lifetime. How could another Ye Fan appear?

Crack!

The other young Demon Clan elites also had their hearts shaken; Ye Fan had left too deep an impression on them. Even if they didn’t participate in that competition, they knew that Ye Fan had successively slain the young kings of their Demon Clan, even defeating the strongest heir of the Imperial Family.

It was precisely that battle that forced the Demon Clan to remain dormant; had Ye Fan not single-handedly stopped them, the world’s structure would have undergone a huge upheaval by now.

Even He Feng was defeated; besides perhaps the newly emerged Demon Emperor’s offspring, who else could be his match?

"Hahaha..."

One of the young Demon Clan elites laughed maniacally, saying, "I don’t care if you’re the real Ye Fan; even if you’re an imposter, you’re doomed to die today."

"That’s right, this is truly, a road to Heaven you don’t take, a No Gate to Hell you enter on your own, by this time next year, it’ll be your anniversary."

"Please, Ancestor, take action and kill this scoundrel!"

A little demon in the Divine Power Realm said to the older generation strong people of the Demon Clan below.

"This is the best whetstone for you all, you should make the move. Even if he’s impersonating Ye Fan, he must have some skills to dare to charge in here single-handedly, he’s truly eaten a leopard’s gall."

The Demon Clan elder didn’t appear, obviously intending for Ye Fan to be a whetstone for their younger generation.

As for Ye Fan sealing this place with a hundred and eight banners, he didn’t take it seriously at all, believing that this young man was doomed to die today.

Challenging hundreds of Demon Clan’s younger generation alone, it’s sheer arrogance, does he really think the Demon Clan plays by the same rules, fighting one-on-one?

"All of you, come at me together!"

Ye Fan also knew that these Demon Clan cultivators would never give him a fair chance to fight, so he didn’t bother ridiculing or sarcastically commenting on it.

"What an arrogant kid, I’ll kill you!"

A Two-star Demon with a fiery temper couldn’t hold back any longer upon hearing Ye Fan’s words.

"I’ll kill him myself, no one is allowed to interfere, or don’t blame me for causing trouble later." The Two-star Demon, burly with hair falling over his shoulders, eyes like lamps, and muscular build, said.

Clearly, he had considerable influence among the young elites of the Demon Clan within the City Lord Mansion. With his statement, others who wanted to act also stopped.

"You’re not up to it! Send someone stronger!"

Ye Fan shook his head, glanced at the Two-star Demon with contempt, and said coldly.

Putting aside racial prejudices, Ye Fan actually respected this opponent quite a lot. Being able to maintain such arrogance in an absolutely advantageous situation shows he’s someone who disdains ganging up.

"Take my axe!"

The Two-star Demon was furious, with a flash of light in his hand, a Mountain Opening Axe appeared, which he fiercely swung toward Ye Fan’s head.

This was a purely melee-type demon, though his exact species was unknown, he undoubtedly possessed great strength. Such heavy weapons like the Mountain Opening Axe couldn’t be wielded without absolute power.

"Buzz!"

Ye Fan swung his arm, his golden fist like a small sun, crashing fiercely against the Mountain Opening Axe. The axe rapidly cracked visibly and ultimately fell to the ground as a heap of scrap metal.

"Hiss..."

The young cultivators of the Demon Clan in the City Lord Mansion couldn’t help but gasp, punching Yuan Ren’s Mountain Opening Axe to pieces, what terrifying body and strength must this be?

Whoosh!

Immediately, Ye Fan didn’t stop, moving underfoot, breaking the spatial limits as if through shattered void, appearing right in front of Yuan Ren, punching straight through his over two-meter-tall body, his fist piercing from the back, spraying blood across the sky.

"Boom!"

Yuan Ren shouted, his body exploded, his Divine Soul screeched attempting to escape, but was grabbed by Ye Fan and directly obliterated.

"This..."

"Kill!"

"Avenge Yuan Ren!"

Amidst the shouts, a large group of young strong Demon Clan members charged at Ye Fan together, Spiritual Treasures flying everywhere, Holy Light tearing through space.

"Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

Ye Fan roared, stretched his body, unfolding the Eight Phase World Domain, unaffected by Ten Thousand Techniques. The Xuandi Fist pierced the universe, blazing punch rays reaping lives like the scythe of Death.

"Boom!"

An endless Death Aura erupted from Ye Fan, something he unintentionally absorbed on the Luan Gu Ancient Star, unbeknownst even to himself.

"What is this?"

"Such dense Death Aura!"

"..."

Everyone was stunned, including Ye Fan himself. Even he could not have anticipated that after slaughtering seventy to eighty Demon Clan elites, his body’s Death Aura would erupt.

Gray Death Aura spread like mist, infiltrating the young Demon Clan members, destroying their vitality.

At this moment, Ye Fan noticed the black and white spheres within him seemed to grow larger, maintaining balance as they quickly pursued and whirled.

"Ah..."

Continuously, youthful Demon Clan members met untimely deaths, especially those little demons below the Lord Realm, who were even more vulnerable.

This scene frightened the Demon Clan elder in the City Lord Mansion who had yet to appear, looking up at Ye Fan in shock, muttering, "Human... Human-shaped creature!?"
